Was just admiring my original copy of it earlier. I bought another copy off of GOG since it was about a pound on sale, which is a bargain compared to (a) connecting a working cd-rom drive to any of my computers (b) running the damned installer on Linux (c) fully patching it up to work.

Fallout 1 is much more consistent with better lore, but 2 has a lot more 'game' and is more fun to play. Fight me.

i got Fallout 1 from my uncle as a christmas gift when i was like 7, i finished it 15 years later.

New Vegas is also good.

never finished Fallout 2

[-] Twongo@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 day ago

I was jonesing after finishing fallout 1 and 2, it led me to playing slavjank crpg's like atom rpg

[-] asdasd201@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 day ago

Jokes on you I only played them!

I've avoided FNV because of Badhesda.

[-] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 7 points 21 hours ago

new vegas is the one that NMA found tolerable, for what that's worth.

[-] asdasd201@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 19 hours ago

Who's NMA?

[-] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 4 points 18 hours ago

old toxic fan forum, no supermutants allowed

[-] Crucible@hexbear.net 48 points 1 day ago

If I never made it past the first room does it still count?

Every time I tried 2 my experience was 10 mins of: Imma go fight these ants. damn these ants got hands

[-] Pili@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

Fucking same. I got my copy for free when I bought Baldur's gate, I got shredded by the little rats just outside the vault and never touched that game again.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 26 points 1 day ago

2 has a fucking awful awful intro

[-] Kefla@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago

I built a small guns and speech character just like the one I used to beat fallout 1. Little did I know my character lives in a primitive tribe and won't have access to any guns or friends for a long while.

I honestly gave up after getting slaughtered two dozen times because my fragile guns character lives in a society where she has to fight with a spear all the time. How did she survive long enough to reach the start of the game?

[-] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 18 points 1 day ago

The trick is to gtfo of town after completing the awful tutorial, beeline to the bottom of the world map until you start encountering people in purple robes fighting against people without purple robes, scavenge the loot from the dead, and sell everything to the vendor at the nearest town. I think one of the vendors sells power armor lol. Do this until you have enough equipment then you can begin last-hitting the survivors for xp. Farm off the survivors until you feel you are strong enough. With this cheese, you basically walk out of it with power armor and various late-game weapons on top of being overleveled.

[-] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 21 points 1 day ago

Yeah I needed a walkthrough to get past the second town and the rest of the game in 2

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 26 points 1 day ago

First playthrough: go to the town nearby. Random encounter with some crazed robot that kills me, so I have to do the tutorial all over again. Put it down for years after that.

[-] trabpukcip@hexbear.net 17 points 1 day ago

This is what happened to me in fnv and then I sold the console

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 6 points 19 hours ago

You took the shortcut, didn't you?

[-] Krem@hexbear.net 27 points 1 day ago

There were three Fallout games, right? There was also some weird alpha version of New Vegas set in Washington DC for some reason, but it was kinda boring. Then some silly spinoff games with like multiplayer and base building or something. Who ever played those?

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 7 points 21 hours ago

Fallout 1, 2, tactics, Brotherhood of steel, Van Buren (never finished or released), fallout 3, new Vegas, shelter, 76 and 4.

But if we're being real there was three games: 1, 2 and New Vegas. Everything else is like those books that didn't make it into the bible

[-] Krem@hexbear.net 5 points 17 hours ago

wasn't there one that had a branded soda product placement instead of nuka cola

[-] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 3 points 17 hours ago

Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel.

On top of that the soundtrack was edgy boi metal from bands like slipknot instead of Fallout's typical sorta music.

[-] Crucible@hexbear.net 6 points 19 hours ago

Tactics is the gnostic gospels, only weirdos online want it to be canon but it actually has a lot of stuff that got canonized later anyway

[-] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 5 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

BOS Airships, radroaches, probably some other stuff I'm forgetting.

Edit: the nuclear cultists living in a shantytown assembled around an unexploded nuke.

Edit: brains in jars being used to control an army of robots that've accidentally been tasked with killing everyone due to a flaw in their logic.

[-] ThermonuclearHoxha@hexbear.net 27 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

There were three Fallout games, right?

Yes, the Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 versions of Fallout: New Vegas (2010).

There was also some weird alpha version of New Vegas set in Washington DC for some reason, but it was kinda boring.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009) freedom-and-democracy

Then some silly spinoff games with like multiplayer and base building or something

Minecraft (2011) pika-pickaxe

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

you take that back right this instant

[-] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

thread full of people saying Fallout 1 is better than Fallout 2

@ashinadash@hexbear.net cracks a smile

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 40 points 1 day ago

[-] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 34 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Fallout 2 is fulla proto-reddit humour imho. And the reason most people who've played glom onto Frank Horrigan, or Vault City, or infiltrating Navarro Oil Rig is if they tried to think too hard about some of the other bits, their overburdened cringe receptors would explode.

Go on, make me re-enact a scene from Monty Python again, see what happens fucker.

[-] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 28 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Umm actually it's one of the earliest games where you can get gay married, bet you feel dumb for calling it reddit and cringe now smuglord

spoiler

Please don't look up the particulars as to how that happens

[-] NOPper@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 day ago

I learned what a fluffer was by poisoning myself for a handful of caps in 2.

[-] Carl@hexbear.net 29 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I'm afraid we're fresh out of Monty Python scenes.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago

Im anti Fallout 2 gang as well. The Golden Path is knowing only Fallout 1 and New Vegas are good

[-] anaesidemus@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

Tactics has its moments, but can hardly be called good

Fallout is good.

I did not care for Fallout 2.

[-] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 26 points 1 day ago

Absolutely brutal. I’ve watched better gamers do walkthroughs.

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 25 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yes I played them, yes I used a trainer to be level 8000 with four trillion HP, yes I beat every enemy to death with my bare fists, this is peak fallout gaming.

[-] BeanisBrain@hexbear.net 22 points 1 day ago

Fallout of the North Star

[-] XiaCobolt@hexbear.net 26 points 1 day ago

Kicking a guy and he slides off the map. Punching another guy and his body explodes. I did this as a kid.

Also finished Arcanum this way. Still a lot of fun being basically a divine being effortlessly solving every problem.

[-] Krem@hexbear.net 20 points 1 day ago

The best thing in Arcanum was finishing certain plot quests that gave you a "fate point" or whatever. This fate point could then be used to get a critical success on one attempt at something. So then you'd go up to the Bad Boss Guy, use the point for a crit to pickpocket his armour off of him, put it on yourself, then fight him as he's standing in his underwear

[-] RION@hexbear.net 24 points 1 day ago

[-] Meltyheartlove@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The only fallout game that I could bear playing was fallout 1.

[-] Aradino@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

Fallout 3 is the most comfy fallout
